[Zhejiang-Hanghai Intercity Railway was completed and opened to traffic] After 4 years of construction, the Hangzhou-Haining Intercity Railway was completed and opened to traffic today (June 28), adding another rail transit artery to the development map of the Hangzhou metropolitan area. Starting from Juanhu Lake in the east of Haining City, all the way to the west, it takes 39 minutes to reach Yuhang High-speed Railway Station by Hangzhou-Haizhou Intercity Railway, which is seamlessly interconnected with Hangzhou Metro Line 1 Linping Branch (Line 9).  Editor/Xu Shengpeng

• [Tasmania, Australia launches annual 1500GWh green power tender to drive]
• Recently, Tasmania, Australia launched a large-scale renewable energy procurement program. Hydro Tasmania, a power company under the state government, has officially launched a long-term power purchase agreement bidding for 1.5 billion kilowatt hours (1500 GWh) of wind and solar power annually for global developers, aiming to lock in clean, stable, and financially viable power supply for local electricity demand growth over the next decade. This bidding is released in the form of an "Information Invitation Letter", and it is planned to flexibly award contracts through multiple batches and projects, supporting the construction or expansion of wind and solar power projects, and can be optimized with energy storage systems for output optimization. The target contract period is 10 to 20 years, and the first batch of agreements is expected to be signed in mid-2026. The related projects will be put into operation gradually from 2027 to 2028. The bidding requires that the electricity must be actually transmitted to the Tasmanian power grid, and a scheme that matches the load curve must be clearly defined. Bidders are required to submit documents before early January 2026, and non price factors such as credit qualifications, community and environmental contributions will also be included in the comprehensive evaluation. This plan is seen as a key initiative for Tasmania to promote energy structure transformation and enhance grid stability, and also provides long-term stable market opportunities for international renewable energy developers.

• [Gansu's' Long Power Enters Shandong 'Supporting Energy Storage Project Connected]
• Against the backdrop of deepening the "West East Electricity Transmission" strategy and promoting green energy transformation, Gansu has made key progress in the construction of a major energy storage facility. Recently, the new energy supporting F1 energy storage power station of Huaneng Longdong Multi energy Complementary Comprehensive Energy Base located in Hudong Town, Huan County was successfully connected to the grid, marking the official entry of the supporting energy storage project of the Longdong to Shandong ± 800 kV HVDC transmission project into the operation and commissioning stage, providing strong support for the cross regional transmission of clean electricity. This project is an important component of the Longdong to Shandong ultra-high voltage project, which will start construction at the end of 2024. It plans to build two energy storage power stations, each with a capacity of 300 MW/1200 MWh. The F1 energy storage power station connected to the grid covers an area of 56.7 acres and is equipped with 60 sets of 5 MW/20 MWh energy storage units, which are connected to the booster station through 12 35 kV lines. After being fully completed and put into operation, it can consume approximately 840 million kilowatt hours of new energy annually, with a single storage capacity of up to 2.4 million kilowatt hours, and can meet the daily electricity needs of up to 480000 households.
